Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

I do love that we are seemingly getting group cast photos again! They look great.

:adore: the new cast photos are just wonderful.
 
Scotty was in many cast photos in TOS but was never considered a main cast member nor listed in anything other than the closing credits of episodes.
 
I include TAS, LD, PRO and the Short Treks but, hey, to each their own. 800 live-action, full-length episodes in any small screen franchise is a colossal achievement and has been matched or surpassed just a couple of times.
 
I call it #884 myself. But no judgment at all. Either way you cut it, its quite an impressive feat.

bought executive producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers the opportunity to break some norms. They’ve done it by opening the season with character-centric episodes, particularly shining a spotlight on Spock (Ethan Peck), Dr. M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun), Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush), Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn) and La'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong).

“We wanted to give everybody room, right?” Goldsman tells IGN.

Alonso Myers agrees and says it only strengthens what makes this Trek series unique. “The result is that it doesn't end up feeling like the show belongs to one person and everyone else is just kind of hanging around,” he articulates.


Sounds like they're finally learning from the mistakes of Discovery

I think that focusing on Burnham wasn’t necessarily a mistake; rather, it was her characterization. It was inconsistent and there were times when she was hard to identify with/root for/be interested in as the protagonist. Then they turned her and everyone else into (bad) therapists. I think if the characterization was better/more consistent it wouldn’t be so polarizing.

When Carol Kane was approached about joining “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” for its second season, the celebrated 70-year-old actor had to make a confession: She’d never watched a single minute of the venerated franchise.

“The science fiction world has not really been attractive to me for some reason,” Kane says. “Now that I’m in it,” she adds with a laugh, “I’m very excited about it. It just wasn’t on my path until now.”
